"At that time, we'll live a normal life..."
Seeing his anxious expression, Luo Yunhe smiled faintly after a long while: "Alright, I'll give you a year. If you can come back after a year, then I'll marry someone else!"
Upon hearing this, Su Jingxuan gripped his hand tightly, unwilling to agree to his request.
After being with her, he never thought of giving her up, let alone everything he had now. He would even give her up immediately and go with her, but some things still need to be finished.
"I won't give you that chance!" Su Jingxuan said seriously.
Luo Yunhe smiled but did not answer his question again, instead changing the subject.
"Take me to the palace, I have something I want to see the Emperor!"
Su Jingxuan didn't understand why Luo Yunhe was going to the palace at this time, but he still agreed to her request, after all, he was now General Liu with great merit.
The next day, Su Jingxuan brought Luo Yunhe into the palace.
The emperor did not allow Su Jingxuan to enter, but instead allowed Luo Yunhe to enter alone. The two of them talked in the imperial study for almost an hour before Luo Yunhe came out.
"Wife, what did you and the Emperor talk about? Why are you being so secretive?" Su Jingxuan asked.
Luo Yunhe did not answer him, and no matter how much Su Jingxuan asked him along the way, he did not reveal a single word.
As they approached his courtyard, Luo Yunhe finally spoke: "Su Jingxuan, oh, I should call you Liu Yunzhou now!"
Upon hearing this, Su Jingxuan looked embarrassed and said, "Wife, you can call me whatever you want, I don't mind."
"Let's go! We've been apart for so long and haven't had a proper get-together. I'll cook you a big dinner tonight and show you how much my cooking skills have improved over the years!"
Su Jingxuan's eyes lit up.
"real?"
"Um!"
Luo Yunhe pulled him straight to the vegetable market. After they walked around the market, they came back with their bags full of purchases.
Luo Yunhe prepared eight dishes and two soups.
The food on this table is quite plentiful.
It has a perfect combination of color, aroma, and taste.
"Do you still have the pigs you raise?" The two sat at the dining table, chatting casually.
"I remember. There should be many by now..."
"Yes. There are many, and they made quite a bit of money. Moreover, they are well cared for and kept plump and healthy. You would definitely like them if you saw them."
"Well, after everything is over, I'll go back to raising my pigs. You can keep brewing your wine, and I'll go back to animal husbandry..."
"Hmm, you should try it..."
The two chatted and ate, and Luo Yunhe even brought out peach blossom wine.
That night, the two of them seemed to be as intimate as ever, as if nothing had happened.
After a delicious dinner and some wine, the two quickly ended up in bed.
The next day, sunlight streamed through the window and shone on the two people in bed.
Luo Yunhe was the first to open his eyes and look at the sleeping Su Jinxuan. He stretched out his finger and traced his eyebrows and eyes.
She quickly withdrew her hand, dressed herself swiftly, left a letter, and departed.
Su Jingxuan slept until the sun was high in the sky before getting up.
After getting up, he felt a sharp pain in his forehead, but he didn't know why. He shook his head and looked at the mess in the room. He quickly dressed and went out the door.
After having the room cleaned, he didn't see Luo Yunhe in the courtyard, so he went out to look for her.
He got up without noticing the letter on the table. The maid who had just left to clean the room chased after him after seeing the letter, but he was already gone.
Luo Yunhe had packed all her things early and left the capital.
The two maids were incredibly reluctant to see him leave the capital. However, Luo Yunhe didn't intend to take them with him. After sending the two maids back to the Prince's residence, he drove away in his carriage.
We've been traveling for over an hour now, and are well far from the capital.
Su Jingxuan arrived at the small courtyard where Luo Yunhe lived and found it empty. After inquiring about the people who had just moved in, he learned that she was no longer there.
Where could he have gone if he doesn't live here? He was fine yesterday, how could he suddenly disappear today?
With doubts in his heart, Su Jingxuan returned to his courtyard.
"Young master, this is a letter we found in your room..."
Upon hearing the letter, Su Jingxuan quickly turned around, took the letter, and opened it. Only after seeing the contents did he become numb.
No wonder he doesn't live there anymore; he's left.
No wonder he insisted on cooking a whole table of food for me yesterday; it turns out he was preparing to leave without even saying goodbye.
Su Jingxuan felt very upset.
The two had been separated for five or six years, and their reunion was only brief. How could he feel good about his silent and humorous departure?
He should have left with her.
One year...
The letter mentioned a one-year agreement, but could he really accomplish something so important within a year?
Su Jingxuan dared not think about what she would do if she didn't go back a year later and he really had to marry someone else.
no!
The thought that he might marry someone else a year from now was unbearable, so he stood up and hurriedly went into the palace again.
Luo Yunhe walked at a moderate pace.
However, news from the capital still reached her ears.
"Have you heard? The Emperor has arranged a marriage for General Liu!"
Who is General Liu?
"Who else could it be but General Liu, who fought alongside General Xu on the border and distinguished himself in battle? He's now General Liu..."
"Oh, so it's General Liu, the last surviving member of the once very powerful Liu family..."
"Yes, it's said that she was betrothed to the young and promising General Liu by the Emperor's aunt and cousin!"
"Wouldn't that mean they'd be related to the royal family? The Liu family would be on the rise to power..."
"That's right, she's a princess after all..."
The people in the small town were all talking about it, seemingly finding it quite novel.
After having a simple meal and buying some necessities for the journey, Luo Yun left the town.
She seemed completely unconcerned about what those people were talking about, as if it had nothing to do with her.
After returning home, she rested for a while before devoting all her energy to the workshop.
